Elm

Welcome to Elm class!

Our teacher is Miss Whitehead. Our teaching assistant is Mrs Want.

We have 25 Children in Elm Class.

Our PE days are Thursday and Friday. PE is taught by Mr Peddler.
Please remember to wear your PE kit to school on these days.

Spring Term

Our topic for this term is our local area.
We will learn how to locate features on a map and identify human environments. We will also describe a journey using a map and draw maps with a key of places to show landmarks. We will make observations about and describe the local area and its physical and human geography and suggest how these are connected. In addition, we will learn to name, locate and identify characteristics of the four countries and capital cities of the UK and its surrounding seas on a range of maps.

Feedback to improve our learning

We all have been involved in a dialogue about the high expectations we have of all pupils. Effective feedback involves a dialogue to identify what has been done well and the next steps to learning. Pupils are regularly given verbal feedback about their work and areas to work on. Where appropriate, we use pink highlighting to identify where we are 'Tickled Pink' that the Success Criteria (expectations set out at the start of the lesson) have been achieved. Green highlighting identifies a next step (Green for Growth). Children are also encouraged to self-edit and correct or improve something using their purple polish pen. For more information, please do ask your child, read our policy which can be found at www.petersfield.cambs.sch.uk or speak to us.

This is most likely to be related to letter and number formation or adding in capital letters or full stops.
